Step inside matter. Experience crystal structures at human scale—walk through atomic lattices, measure geometry, explore Miller planes, and learn from within.
STEP INSIDE MATTER.
Experience crystal structures at human scale.
CrystalRoom transforms real crystallographic data into interactive 3D structures you can explore, measure, and physically walk through on Apple Vision Pro.
EXPLORE FROM YOUR SPACE
Study crystal structures in a native visionOS workspace. Rotate and zoom the model, inspect atoms, build supercells, highlight elements from the legend or by search, view crystallographic axes, and arrange supporting windows around you. Undo and redo view changes, and pick up where you left off: your structure, supercell, and view are restored when you return.
STEP INSIDE THE CRYSTAL
Enter full immersion and walk through a room-scale lattice. Tap atoms around you to inspect their identity, coordinates, bonding, and local environment. Scale the lattice around you, switch structures without leaving immersion, and keep essential controls within reach.
MEASURE ATOMIC GEOMETRY
Select two atoms to measure distance or three atoms to measure an angle. CrystalRoom draws guide lines directly on the structure so measurements stay spatially connected to the atoms you are studying, and keeps a history of your measurements.
SEE MORE OF THE STRUCTURE
• Build independent a/b/c supercells up to 5×5×5 (the largest unit cells are capped automatically to keep Vision Pro responsive)
• Visualize coordination polyhedra
• Complete boundary coordination with display-only edge atoms
• Explore Miller planes with adjustable h, k, l indices and (100), (110), (111) presets
• View live d-spacing, in the panel and on the plane itself
• Display one plane or an entire plane family
• Offset planes through the lattice
• Search for an element and highlight every matching atom
• Undo and redo rotation and zoom
• Keep a history of your measurements
• Inspect fractional and Cartesian coordinates
• View space group, lattice parameters, atom counts, bond counts, and parser warnings
GUIDED EXPLORATION
CrystalRoom includes a 20-step guided tour of the windowed workspace, an interactive immersive Halite tour, and a generated “Tour This Structure” experience that adapts to the crystal you are viewing.
BUILT ON REAL CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC DATA
CrystalRoom reconstructs its structures from bundled CIF crystallographic data, including space-group symmetry expansion, special-position handling, disorder handling, crystallographic coordinate transforms, and chemically informed bond detection.
Its scientific pipeline is backed by 91 automated tests covering lattice mathematics, structure parsing, published bond lengths, coordination, Miller-plane geometry, guided-tour logic, scene limits, and reference structures cross-checked against established crystallographic tooling.
11 BUILT-IN STRUCTURES
Explore:
• Corundum — Al₂O₃
• Calcite — CaCO₃
• Fluorite — CaF₂
• Zircon — ZrSiO₄
• Forsterite — Mg₂SiO₄
• Diamond — C

FOR LEARNING, TEACHING, AND DISCOVERY
CrystalRoom is designed for students, educators, crystallographers, materials scientists, chemists, geoscientists, researchers, and anyone curious about the structures that shape the material world.
CrystalRoom is available exclusively on Apple Vision Pro.

CrystalRoom 2.0 is a major release built around one idea: step inside the crystal.
WALK THROUGH THE LATTICE
• Full immersion: enter a room-scale crystal and walk through it
• Tap any atom around you to inspect identity, coordinates, bonding, and local environment
• Measure distances and angles in space, with guide lines drawn on the structure
• Switch structures and scale the lattice without leaving immersion
• Head-anchored toolbar keeps the essentials within reach
GUIDED TOURS
• A 20-step tour of the windowed workspace that teaches by doing
• An interactive immersive Halite tour with hands-on tasks
• “Tour This Structure”: a generated tour that adapts to whatever crystal you are viewing
SEE MORE OF THE STRUCTURE
• Miller planes with adjustable h, k, l, live d-spacing, presets, plane families, and offsets
• Coordination polyhedra
• Complete boundary coordination with display-only edge atoms
• A movable crystallographic axis gizmo that mirrors every rotation
• Tap a legend entry or search to highlight an element
• Measurement guide lines and a measurement history in the windowed view
FIVE NEW STRUCTURES
• Corundum, calcite, fluorite, zircon, and forsterite, reconstructed from reference crystallographic data and validated against established tooling
A MORE TRUSTWORTHY ENGINE
• Full space-group symmetry expansion with special-position and disorder handling
• Corrected quartz structure and space group
• Chemically informed bond detection, including ionic halides
• Its scientific pipeline is backed by an automated test suite covering lattice mathematics, structure parsing, published bond lengths, coordination, Miller-plane geometry, guided-tour logic, scene limits, and reference structures cross-checked against established crystallographic tooling.
A BETTER WORKSPACE
• Undo and redo rotation and zoom
• Your structure, supercell, and view are restored when you return
• Supporting windows dock around the crystal instead of in front of it
• VoiceOver labels across the toolbar
• Much smoother rendering of large supercells, with the biggest unit cells capped automatically to keep Vision Pro responsive
